The FA Cup second round takes place this weekend, meaning the draw for the third round is imminent.

That is when the Premier League and Championship sides - including Watford, obviously - enter the competition and third round weekend is one of the best few days in the football calendar.

The third round draw is a hotly anticipated event, too, and tends to throw up some intriguing ties, with non-league clubs knowing they could face teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal.

Fans are known to be going 'no' when a side they don't want to face is drawn at home and 'come on' when it would be a trip they'd fancy.

When their side is drawn at home there is a hush as they hope for an exciting opponent, be it a Premier League big boy or a team they feel they can progress against.
